. Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 14, 19709.

Application led July 19, 1909. Serial No. 508,357.

To all 'whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, CLAUDE D. CLARK, a citizen of the United States,residing at Waterbury, inthe county of New Haven and State ofConnecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Attachmentsfor Bedsteads; and Ido hereby declare the following, when taken inconnection with the accompanying drawings and the characters ofreference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and eXact description ofthe same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification,and represent, in-

Figure 1 a perspective view of a bed showing my im roved attachmenttherefor in the open position. Fig. 2 a top or plan View of the foot ofa bedstead partially in section and with the cushion of the attachmentremoved. Fig. 3 a sectional view on the line a--b of Fig. 2.

This invention relates to an attachment for bedsteads, the object beingto prlpvide a seat or rest at the foot of the bed, the invention beingapplicable particularly to metal bedsteads, and the purpose is toprovide a convenient place for clothes, or one which may be used as aseat; and the invention consists in the construction as will behereinafter described and pointed out in the claim.

Secured to a transverse bar 2 of a footboard 3 of a metal bedstead, is aframe 4. This frame has ends 5 and 6 which rest upon the rail 2 to whichit may be attached by clips 7 so as to turn thereon, the ends 5 and 6projecting inward beyond the rail and so as to engage with the end 8 ofthe usual wire springs` with which metal beds are usually equlpped. Theframe 4 may be set downwardly from the inner ends so as to provide spacefor a cushion 9 between the footboard and the traine when the frame isturned up against the footboard. Then turned down this frame forms aconvenient place for clothing or other articles, and may be used as aseat, and when not required for use may be turned up against theootboard so as to be out of the way. This frame will preferablycorrespond in material and design to the footboard so that it will notde- CLAUDE D. CLARK.
